Let your ideas grow...


It always seems to be the case that when I am searching the internet for new images or ideas on one topic I fall across a totally different idea that stops me in my tracks.

This post was meant to be about a cobalt and white theme, but as ever I got distracted! When looking for some great design images to show you I came across.....





This site is great for design and colour inspiration. By taking images of nature and every day situations, design-seeds takes the main colour and adds them to your palette.
